We ended up at a Pho place in Renton (near
erikthenude's house). I was not thrilled with my first Pho. Was told that that place was "okay", so I am willing to give Pho another try. Next time I'll check out one of the places recommended to me by
holyoutlaw and
joikm. Also, I will try a chicken one next time. I discovered I do like squid though, and don't seem to be allergic.
